Hi, I have an elderly cat whom the vet said may be in the beginning stages of kidney disease, high BUN(63) and creatinine(738) levels, high phosphorous levels, and a high white blood cell count. My cat is currently on IV and the vet feels that with the additional fluids it will clear some if not all of the toxins out of the system. She also thinks that he may have a urinary tract infection and said that sometimes that happens with kidney disease so my cat is currently on antibiotics too.

What would be the reason for a high white blood cell count? Would the urinary tract infection cause it? What would you suggest to give to bring the phosphorous levels down? What would you suggest as a diet once I bring my cat home? The vet, at this point, is thinking to just put him on a k/d diet but I would like to supplement or implement other things that could improve my cat's kidney function as much as possible and bring down and keep down the white blood cell count,BUN, creatinine levels and phosphorous levels. Thank you for anything you could suggest that may help.
